Nadiya Hussain has given a shocking account of being the victim of racist bullying when she was 7 years old.

The Great British Bake Off winner was on the Loose Women panel today and opened up about her struggle with anxiety.

Nadiya was asked if there had been a trigger for her anxiey, to which she replied: "I've been suffering with it since I was seven years old. I used to get bullied a lot for my skin, because I had dark skin."

She went on to recall one incident in particular, saying: "When we were younger we had the chalk boards and the chalk would all fall against the bottom. They held me up against this chalk board and they got the chalk dust and smothered my face in it.

"I remember that moment, being stood there and thinking, 'Everyone's watching me. I don't know what to do', Every time I have that feeling it reminds me of that moment."
